Other people have struggled with how to get fines and fees into Evergreen from their old system. So I thought many would benefit from seeing how KCLS handled fines and fees in their migration from Millennium to Evergreen.
Did you know that Evergreen's "shelving locations" are synonymous with Horizon's "collection codes?"
Did you know that Evergreen's "circulation identifiers" are synonymous with Horizon's "itypes?"
I learned this from the attached document, contributed by Bibliomation. It documents their system-wide loan policy recommendations. Check it out, they got public, academic and school libraries to agree on a consistent loan periods. Awesome!
We created Entity/Relationship (E/R) diagrams of the Evergreen database from the EG Version 1.6 schema. Reviewing and understanding the data model was very helpful in conjunction with our functional evaluation. It also helped us prepare for migration training and in planning our data migration. We plan to update this periodically with corrections and for new versions of Evergreen.
